This paper describes an educational platform for teaching DC electric drives. The drive has as objective an efficient system for controlling the speed of a DC motor driven by a chopper. The chopper is manufactured using metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors for low power consumption and high switching frequency. The control part is performed using the LabVIEW environment, thus allowing for monitoring of the main signals such as voltages, currents and speed. The applied principles and the obtained results are also shown.
